As far as I know it's not possible to 'test for rabies' without cutting the mammal's head off. But I'm happy to be proven wrong.

This is very sad, and a difficult situation all over the country. Why should humans destroy the dogs for our own convenience of living with peace of mind? Sterilising the females to reduce reproduction and castrating the males to reduce aggression is the only solution.

Because there is no fixing a rabid dog anyways...

Domestic flights may resume on May 1, but under strict conditions

By The Nation

 

 

If provinces where tourist destinations are located start lifting their restrictions next month, then airlines will be allowed to resume domestic flight services but only under strict conditions.

 

Chula Sukmanop, director-general of the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT), said on Thursday (April 23) that he has met with representatives of both local and international airlines to discuss the option of allowing domestic flights to start operating from May 1.

 

“Though the Covid-19 outbreak appears to be subsiding and carriers are preparing to resume operations, every airline is required to strictly follow every disease prevention rule,” he said. 

 

It is mandatory for airlines to observe the following rules once they resume services: 

 

• The province of the destination should have eased restrictions.

 

• Passengers can only occupy every other seat.

 

• Social distancing must be strictly observed at check-in counters and during embarking and disembarking.

• No food or drink can be served on the flight.

 

• Special seats must be reserved for risky passengers for routes longer than 90 minutes.

 

• Crew members must wear masks, face shields and gloves. 

 

• Passengers are required to always wear a mask.

 

Passengers need to have their own mask and are not allowed to bring food on the plane. For flights that are longer than 90 minutes, airlines must reserve seats at the back of the plane for passengers who show symptoms of Covid-19, he said. 

 

Chula added that travellers will have to check flights and timetables with the airlines directly as not all routes will be open. They can also monitor the latest updates about Covid-19 cases at the CAAT website, www.caat.or.th/corona.

 

So far, Air Asia is the only airline that has indicated it will resume flights on May 1, while Lion Air has said it will wait for the government’s decision on whether or not to extend the state of emergency. Some government officials have signalled that a few restrictions may be eased though the state of emergency may be extended beyond April 30.

No food or drink?  I guess these are all flights within a country...I'll wait.

To open a business in Thailand you must give 51% control to a Thai

 

For each work permit you must employ 4 Thais

 

but someone frustrated that nobody in an American business can speak English is racist?

Furthermore I'm not so sure why they think learning English to Run a Business in America where the official Language is English would be so disturbing...

Don't Matter.  Farang like me aren't coming back cause we don't believe this Fingerprinting should be done.  I'll come back when they end the practice.

18 old gimmicks to lure in dollars....the question should be ''how can we in Thailand make your holiday experience more enjoyable''....the answer is ''start treating them with respect and dignity and not like cattle''...

I'm done with visiting Thailand.  They wanna take fingerprints at the airports now "to keep Thailand safe" and I only wonder how long it will be before they start drawing blood for DNA samples.

It's a corrupt place that is getting boycotted by myself and many of my friends.  That Tourist Number is likely to drop further in the coming years.

Why am I not surprised...

Congratulations.  You are telling bold face lies first off.

Second they are chasing out people that would like to spend money in Thailand.  Can't have that.

Third I ain't going back to Thailand.  I aint going to spend my money there to be treated like that.  Sorry not sorry!

Thai Road design is at fault really. 

Who else does U- Turns on an 80km/h highway?

Oh well. They won't seek the reason people die so they'll make a useless response to it.

So,  they made 81 million baht. But me and all my like minded friends won't be coming to Thailand ever again.  I'm a well paid, crime free individual with good money to spend.  And lots of friends in the same boat.

Thailand will just continue to make itself suffer.

Yeah, super nefarious. Might have traveled to a different country at some point in time!

Why would anybody worry  about finger prints, every time i open my phone my thumb print is in the cloud for the world to see.

a suggestion would be a photo of your more intimate piece on your passport ID page, i am told they are all different with there own idiosyncrasies, so to speak.  

Not sure if serious....

They must also realise that somebody blacklisted only has to get a new passport and he's free to come and go again. Once they are checking the fingerprints with every entry that option will effectively be closed down.

Facial recognition wasn't enough previously?

Good , you can spread all kinds of diseases faster. Everyone touches the plate or will they have a disinfection bath for the fingers? Yha ok, you touch more when you are moving around, but it is a source again.

Guess if they make those prints, they can sell their database. Fingerprint in combination with passport. In other countries they dont do, not even EU, USA, but in Thailand they do?! Is Thailand a country to gather that info and sell?!

Is this not in conflict with Geneva human rights? 

How fast the check will go, just single finger print out of billions? If they check  it also with criminal records or any other database.

All so old fashioned, why not have all people in the world have a body implanted chip, forget about human rights and privacy, then everybody is tagged.

More and more total control. 

How long before they draw blood to check DNA?

It is kind of a scary thought allowing thailand immigration to retain biometric and passport data on their tourists given their capacity for permitting easy access to their database as shown previously with incompetent use of passwords. 

But what choice does anyone have if wanting to enter now into Thailand. There will always be an underlying fear identities will het stolen at some point in the future. 

The choice is simple.  I'm never coming back.  Everyone else should do the same so that the Tourist industries crumble and then maybe the governments will finally realized the population isn't going to put up with this <deleted>.

Of course it does.

It always will until the police decide to actually decide to do anything about it.

While the police are only interested in collecting dinner money nothing will change.

That's pure <deleted>!

If you want accidents in Thailand to go down you'll need to redesign the roadways.  So much bad design here that would never be allowed in Canada or the USA!

Bad design will lead to bad accidents!

Yeah, some people eh? While I'm driving my mobile is in one of zip sections of my small utility bag, placed on the passenger seat but turned towards the seat not the windshield. With the a/c on keeping the whole thing cool. Yet a day or two ago I'm waiting at the traffic lights Sun blaring in a cloudless sky, there is a girl on a m/b talking on her mobile(no helmet, wearing shorts). Just using a mobile generates heat and I thought this girl was lucky that the phone didn't explode...might have taken her ear and side of face with it.

The reason the one in that pickup exploded is because it was 43*C outsided and likely 70*C+ inside the truck as the sun was shining in and it was all enclosed.

Far cry from just using the phone in 43*C weather.  Much Much different.

It does not matter how the Thai Authorities try to massage the death toll figures on the roads, whether it be an " ordinary " day or Songkran there is no getting away from the facts.

Thai roads are one of the ( if not the most ) dangerous roads in the World.

Primarily because of the design.  So many things done in Thailand that wouldn't be done elsewhere.

Having driven around most of Thailand, I find the condition of the roads not to be the problem but the mentality of road users that is the issue. Until they change the mindset of drivers, there will be no change, and that is an almost impossible challenge. Road barriers may help curtail head on accidents but it will also give something else to run into!

 Do you think the I-5 in Seattle, for example, would have any stretches where oncoming traffic at highway traffic speed can get to the opposite directional lanes?  The answer is NO!  Why?  Because to hit concrete in the middle is just a glancing non-fatal blow.  A head on collision at highway speeds is almost always fatal!

I see the conference ends today.

What's the chance of any alleged expert standing up and saying that "the level of driving in Thailand is appalling, a large percentage of drivers don't have licences, and the police never enforce any regulations proactively to prevent accidents."

No, I don't don't think so either.

 

And here is another one.  Aye Carumba.  I've driven in a lot of places.  Thailand drivers are actually pretty courteous.  You are just a sour old goat that loves to see police everywhere.  And complain of all kinds of nitwit useless things!
